Many political movements today discourage integrating any religious involvement with private employers, such as medical institutions. While there is still a Constitutional freedom to practice religion, religious 'interference' has become a common topic. Medical centers need to ensure that staff is aware of and supportive of their faith-centered missions.

"In my job search, finding an organization that holds my values was important to me, and I was immediately drawn to your openings here at Loma Linda University Medical Centered. Christian values of treating others with respect, mercy, and empathy were instilled in me throughout my life, and I'd be proud to serve your mission for the rest of my career."

The interviewer is not asking your opinion as a way of inclusion or exclusion in employment, but rather to see if you are willing to accept the beliefs of others without it interfering with the care you provide or the respect you show your peers on the job. You can answer this question with your own opinion while being respectful of others. If possible, try to speak from the heart when showing what Loma Linda's mission means to you personally and professionally.

Sciences are my interests, but religion dictates my lifestyle. The school's global mission, "to serve a worldwide community by promoting healthful living care for the sick, and sharing the good news of a loving God", aligned with my philosophy of life. I wish to utilize my abilities that I have learned from school to serve others in need so that they may experience the love of Jesus.
